up date:
Fixed a poor coil wire connection, Installed a thermostat and bypass line, and verified total timing. Took it out tonight and it seemed to run stronger. I finally got the engine to run at 150* I unfortunately have too much water pressure now. I need to make my bypass line a little bigger.I basicly had to abort the mission because I couldn't run it more than half throttle. One of the other Items I was checking on was the fuel pressure readings. It seems like it may want to drop on me but it was hard to tell because I was having to lift due to the water pressure.
I feel good about the changes and the progress today, just wish I could have tested more.
what do you guys think The Holly should see for pressure @WOT ......7-8# ??

I've been slow to make progress w/ boat. Work is eating up the time.
I have tested the boat a few times to work out the issues. the last thing on the list is the water pressure. (which should be handled w/ the dump).
Next trip out I should be able to hammer it and check on holding correct fuel pressure.
Here is a pic I snapped off today. nothing really changed too much that you can see.

Hammer that thing down and come over my way the the next time you are out for a blast.
Great talking to you this week!
Buy the way, that engine compartment looks better even than mine when I had the 28!! I look forward to you making me look bad on Lanier.

Well it looks like I've ironed out the little issues, fuel pressure, water pressure , temp, bla, bla...
I had the boat to 79gps. I had to use excessive trim to pull the rpms where I wanted them. I'm a little confused about this, but the boat doesn't pull like I think it should.
I'm installing a different ignition system this weekend to see if I have a weak spark. I'm also double checking my module to make sure it isn't retarding in the upper rpm range.
Hopfully I can test it tomorrow.

Chris,The prop is a bone stk bravo1 26 . (Your swim platform looks great!!)
Thanks Sean, but I think something is not working like it should.
Bottom line; I shouldn't hit a wall like I am and have to trim so heavy. At least I don't think I should have to.
Dyno says well over a 100hp more than I had. Sure doesn't feel like it. I put the msd stuff in tonight. I'll test tomorrow.
If this isn't the magic formula then a cam swap might be in the near future.
I will keep you guys in the know.
